Abstract
A pool cleaning device includes a housing assembly that has a base portion. The foot portion is for resting on a deck of a pool. A handle member slidably extends through the base portion of the housing assembly. The handle is to be gripped by hands of a user. The handle member is linearly oscillatable along an axis of the handle member. A head assembly is coupled to the handle member. The head assembly is positioned below the housing assembly such that the head assembly engages the walls of the pool. The head assembly is for facilitating cleaning of the walls of the pool when the handle member is oscillated along the axis of the handle member.
Claims22
A pool cleaning device for cleaning walls of a pool, the pool cleaning device comprising:
- a housing assembly having a base portion, a foot portion being adapted for resting on a deck of a pool;
